I have. Messages, complaints, comments.And then there he goes, complaining about how the mods run things.Feel free to throw something my way if you want me to read between the lines.
It seems like you're just frustrated because everyone else keeps ignoring your "genius" posts and messing with you. Honestly, it feels like you're just defending your ego here because people won't give you the credit you think you deserve by skipping over your threads. You aren't actually looking for a discussion; you're just hunting for attention. It looks to me like a bit of an insecurity thing—coming here to lecture everyone else just to try and feel superior.The fact that you think the topics on those subforums are trivial says more about your own lack of depth than anything else. Relationships, family, loneliness, sex—you’re calling those "unserious"? To any normal person, those are the core pillars of life. They're the things that actually shape who we are. The real issue is that people like you don't hang out in those spaces. You find them boring because you don't have much of substance to contribute.
I didn't say every single thread on those subforums was a joke, but there’s definitely some fluff in there. And just to be clear, I never said I was going to troll the whole boards—I specifically meant I'd only mess around in the less serious threads. You seem to be skimming over what I'm actually saying.Since you’re such a chatterbox, why don't you answer me yourself? I already told you, it’s just like Facebook. There's a private messaging option right there, yet people somehow "accidentally" end up replying to each other in public comments so everyone can watch. It's like they can't be bothered to send a DM. Honestly, your argument is about as convincing as the Israeli arguments for attacking Gaza.
Maybe it’s just because the rules are so vague that people feel they can get away with using a brush. Since they can just sweep through like that, there's really no point in bothering with a PM.
What’s bothering you about Facebook now? Is it really such a big deal if people just message each other privately to comment on photos or status updates?In theory, that’s exactly what moderators are there for, but let’s be real—in practice, they rarely actually step up.
I already told you what to do if you aren't happy with how the moderators are handling things.Both guys and girls are lurking here. Chronic boredom doesn't care about gender.
Why single out the sexually inactive users who are hoping they'll score some action just by posting? Are the sexually inactive women here hoping they'll get laid by typing? Or are you hoping that by arguing, you'll finally get lucky?Trying to prove I'm smarter than the trolls, the blowhards, and the rest of the participants in this communicative devolution is like shooting a penalty against an empty net. It’s hardly a challenge.
Then why exhaust yourself with them? It's obvious they're getting under your skin and driving you crazy.I don't think it's invalid. I think many people post because they have nothing else to say. They don't understand anything specific, they don't actually read anything, they aren't interested in anything, etc. For instance, I haven't seen many users with degrees on the science, philosophy, literature, or politics subforums. To me, that's telling.
How can it be valid if you don't know the education level of the people you're calling uneducated? Honestly, who's judging whom here? 😕
Just to point out, I don't really see you hanging out in those subforums either; more like, it seems you mostly stick to the lifestyle boards. 🤷Those aren't "easy" topics at all. Quite the opposite—that's where the real issue lies: those subjects are sensitive for 99% of people. Because you have no other way to participate in them (since they cause you too much discomfort), you try to turn them into something "easy" and trivial. You use a collective defense mechanism—chatting—as a sort of meta-language that supposedly reflects relaxation and superiority. Collective repression. Nothing new. It's similar to a joke about death, except jokes are a brilliant narrative form that you'll never quite grasp.
I meant "easier" subforums in terms of discussion. The moderation isn't as strict, people are more inclined to post there, etc.
Sure, topics like "How to win over a confused, taken guy when you aren't a bombshell yet?" or "Do women like... [redacted]?" are truly delicate. No doubt about it. It’s only natural that people will post, troll, and joke around.
There are serious topics on those subforums too, I agree. People actually discuss those most of the time; occasionally someone flies in with something irrelevant, but it's nothing major.
Why not just ignore the trolls?
They couldn't care less about those complaints. Honestly, it doesn't even cross my mind.
Seems to me you’re just pissed because everyone else is ignoring your "genius" posts and treating them like a joke. You're only pushing this thread to protect your ego since people basically brushed you off by not caring about what you wrote. You aren't getting the attention you're hunting for through these posts. Looks to me like you're insecure, so you come here to lecture everyone else just to feel some sense of superiority.
Interesting, but you missed the mark. There’s no point arguing with you—just go back and read my old posts. You'll see people actually vibe with what I have to say, just like everyone else on these boards. Insecure? About what, exactly? I couldn't care less. Most of these chatters are just a bunch of nobodies killing time because they've got nothing better to do.
Look, I didn't say every single thread on those subforums is a joke, but there’s definitely plenty of nonsense floating around. And for the record, I never said I was going to troll the whole boards—I just meant I’m sticking to the more ridiculous topics. You’re seriously just not reading what I’m writing.
I don't even bother with the trivial stuff. Honestly, it’s just not worth my time.
Maybe it’s just because the rules are such a mess. Since they aren't clearly defined, people are basically getting away with using chat to slide things through. If you can just coast by using the chat, why bother sending a PM?
Look, I’m telling you, that’s not the reason. The real reason is buried right in what me and a few others already pointed out.
What’s bothering you about Facebook now? Since when did people need to slide into DMs just to comment on a photo or a status update?
Facebook is basically just one big exercise in psychological profiling. Everyone’s out there curating this fake, polished version of themselves to show the world. If you haven't figured that out by now, you're never going to.
I can't work with just "Quote:". You didn't provide the actual text you want me to rewrite. Paste the content here and I'll get to work.
| So why the hell are you specifically bringing up people who aren't even sexually active? I don't know what to tell you. People just love to talk. They sit behind their screens, typing away like they actually have something useful to say about how the world works. It’s all noise. Just endless, repetitive noise. Most of it is garbage, honestly. You dig through enough threads and you realize everyone is just shouting into the void, hoping someone—anyone—actually gives a damn. It’s exhausting. But hey, that’s life in America, I guess. Constant chatter, zero substance. Who actually thinks they’re gonna score just by walking around? You think those girls on here who haven't seen action in ages are gonna stumble into some guy just because they took a stroll? And what about you? You really think arguing on an internet forum is gonna land you anything in the bedroom? Get real. |
Look, man, I’m not out here posting on some internet forum expecting to score a date. Nobody gets laid by typing on a message board. Believe what you want.
Then why bother wasting your energy on them? It's obvious they just exist to get under your skin and mess with your head.
I've said this a dozen times already. They poison every single thread with pure boredom and stupidity. It’s just a matter of time before someone actually starts something and the rest just follow suit. Like being stuck in the back of a classroom in elementary school—there's nothing else to say about it.
How can you call them uneducated if you don't even know their actual education level? I mean, who gives a damn? 😕
They could be a PhD or a guy working at a gas station; doesn't matter. If they spend all their time lurking and enjoying the show more than actually contributing, they're just a loser with too much time on their hands and zero interest in reality.
Just saying, I don't really see you hanging out in those subforums much. Seems like you mostly stick to the main dating boards. 🤷
Can't, because I use different avatars for different sections. But trust me, I'm active in more places than those four nobodies from the "Lonely Hearts" and "Adult Dating" boards combined.
I meant "easier" subforums in terms of discussion. Moderation isn't strict, people there tend to lurk more, etc.
There's a higher concentration of jobless losers, yeah, we already established that.
Yeah, topics like "How to catch a confused guy if you aren't a bombshell?" or whatever... those are clearly "delicate" subjects. No wonder people just lurk, troll, or joke around.
Doesn't matter how serious or stupid a topic is. You'll always have that crowd coming in with their incredibly bad, unfunny, annoying comments, emojis, and mindless clichés, completely ruining the thread and making it impossible to read.
There are serious topics in those subforums too, I'll give you that. People actually debate them, though occasionally someone jumps in with something irrelevant, but nothing major.
That's straight-up wrong. People just lurk whenever, wherever, and with whoever. Then everything goes quiet, and they just wait for someone to throw a bone so they can jump in with some mindless "lol haha" nonsense. 😍😲 😁
Why don't you just ignore the trolls?
Like, why don't you just ignore some idiot in a car sitting there at a green light?
That's a perfectly valid way to look at it, but don't expect to go venting about the moderation team anywhere else—they tend to reward that kind of attitude pretty quickly.
